Pokémon: A Roundup of Ash's Eight Masters' Peak Battles!

I can't believe how little time has passed.

Surprisingly, she learned about another legend.

Ash is truly my lucky star!

Cynthia couldn't help but smile, and she placed her hand on Ash's head and rubbed it vigorously twice.

(To be honest, it seems like Ash's Farfetch'd is the only one in the anime. It's quite possible that Farfetch'd was born from the image of the Sword and Shield Hero after seeing the statue.)

……

In the picture—

The situation was urgent, so they arrived at the Pokémon Center.

The green onion duck was rushed into the emergency room.

Ash also took this opportunity to have Nurse Joy help his Riolu recover some of its strength.

Until half an hour later.

Farfetch'd was just wheeled out of the emergency room by Miss Joey.

After regaining its spirits, Farfetch'd blushed upon seeing Ash.

Something is wrong!

That's really not right!

Fortunately, this change went unnoticed.

Ash took this opportunity to ask Farfetch'd to be caught.

The giant green onion duck proudly raised its head.

Its gaze swept over Ash for a moment.

He honestly closed his eyes and turned his head away.

Farfetch'd's hand had already landed on the Poké Ball Ash handed it to.

This human is not bad.

She actually cheered him on when she was about to give up!

Since that's the case, then I'll reluctantly accept your decision.

With a "click".

Ash successfully caught a Galarian Farfetch'd.

So far, the journey to the new region has not yet begun.

However, Ash has already caught six Pokémon, including Gengar, Dragonite, and Farfetch'd.

In other regions, 0.6 might already be considered a full-strength formation.

But in order to challenge Leon, Ash will absolutely not stop now.

The next day.

The long-awaited Eight Masters Challenge has officially begun.

This time, the challenger is Raihana, the Dragon-type Gym Leader of the Galar region.

Chibana challenges the strongest champion, Dante!

This is also a match that will determine the top rankings of the eight masters this season!

The number of onlookers was even greater than that of the previous match between Karuno and Cynthia.

after all.

Raihana will definitely use Dynamax in his battle against Leon!

They are both natives of Galar!

"Welcome to the Palace Arena, everyone."

"..."

As the host finished speaking, the competition officially began.

The battle between Kibana and Dante will still be a 1v1 match!

Ash, sitting in the audience, listened to the discussion about Raihana among the audience members next to him.

Excitement gradually crept into his eyes.

"It turns out that Chibana is Mr. Dante's rival! This match is going to be very interesting!"

Raihana is also a skilled Dragon-type trainer, as is Mr. Lance; it's just unclear who is stronger between them.

Inadvertently.

Ash has already brought out Raibou and Lance for a comparison.

To be fair, at least all of Chibana's Pokémon are true Dragon-type Pokémon.

(In the anime, Kibana is at least a true dragon. Its bloodline is much purer than that of Gyarados; it is at least a true dragon!)

Rather than the kind of flying master whose name contains the character for dragon.

As the battle begins.

Both sides summoned their Pokémon.

Raihana, the Dragon-type Gym Leader, brought out his signature Pokémon.

—Aluminum-steel dragon!

As for Emperor Dan!

Is there even a question?

Charizard, of course!

At first glance, it looks like another evenly matched battle!

Chapter 97 Who among serious people plays with Gigantamax Duraludon!

In terms of Pokémon themselves, the difference between the two is not that great!

But the strength of a battle is never determined solely by the Pokémon themselves!

He's a trainer!

(Of course, the Pokémon's own strength is also very important!)

To some extent, Cibana and Dante are indeed evenly matched rivals.

So far, Cibana has also made it into the top eight.

It also ranks seventh!

Coupled with the inherently powerful strength of Dragon-type Pokémon, Qibana truly deserves its reputation.

There is no inherent restraint between the aluminum steel dragon and the fire-breathing dragon.

When trainers are of equal strength, the trainer's command is especially crucial.

As one of only two Champion-level trainers in Galar, Zibana displayed unparalleled dominance from the very beginning.

The aluminum-steel dragon started with an iron wall.

And relying on its own light metal properties and considerable speed, it repeatedly fought against Leon's Charizard.

Even Leon's Charizard seemed to struggle against Kibana's Duraludon.

Throughout the battle, Leon's Charizard used a series of moves that were effective against Duraludon, such as Dig and Brick Break, under Leon's command.

However, the results were still minimal.

Despite such targeted measures, Cibana still managed to find an opportunity.

Aluminosi's Stone Attack hit Charizard directly.

This is Leon's Charizard; if it were any other trainer's Charizard...

They would have been instantly killed by that sharp stone attack long ago.

Even under these circumstances, Leon's Charizard stubbornly stood up.

It even successfully locked blood!

Amidst the cheers of the entire audience.

The flames on Charizard's tail blazed fiercely.

[Chibana: Leon, I never thought you'd be in this situation. See? Your prized Charizard can't beat my Duraludon anymore. It's time for me to take the Champion title.]

[Dan Di: Really? That's not necessarily true!]

In the live stream footage, it was indeed the Qibana aluminum steel dragon that had the upper hand.

There is no doubt about this.

Otherwise, Cibana wouldn't have reacted so angrily.
